all that to say i don't care for the ppl who mock wokeness or the ppl who tout it as the most important thing either

identity politics done a real number on us, s*** been used as a distraction against actual atrocities committed en masse against the working class population

both sides are ugly and they really pull you to one or the other. Posts from either woke or non-woke perspective make me mad and I don’t know why.

nah fr. and not to get on my centrist s*** cuz in reality i be leaning like a mf but goddam the middle path really is The F***ing Way

it's just some places the perceived true middle like a thousand miles east or w/e

I mean I guess lol my point was why is it so important for people to be offensive a******s to someone? Like freedom of speech sure whatever but why? Weird energy s***

Like to be fair I think people should also be more patient with the older generation who are still getting out of those ways...I was around for the 90s and 00's and I know how different it was just back then not to mention prior to that but I just feel if someone expresses they aren't comfortable with something it's wrong to push it on them to the point of just being a Bully or a******...I can't speak on the ballet teacher thing that does sound messed up

OP username straight out the loony bin

offensive comedy is often very good. Laughing at something isn’t agreeing with it

Facts

ye we lowkey talkin on two different things

it's just when a kid crumbles getting taught by an absolute genius like my teacher was then u know sumn up, i never met a more encouraging and loving teacher with skills to back em up

ppl being mean for no reason clowns fr tho, but also older folks can catch tf up, they can't "muh heritage" their way into continued bigotry for example but idt that's what u were speaking on

I watch Tarantino movies lol I love offensive humor I'm just saying it still exists and isn't being killed off by any means

Coming out as Hasan fan

that's wild

poor guy, meanspirited on default. u just kno he getting divorced in the future

edit: why u deleting ur s*** gat

Oh I agree lol eventually older folks need to get with the s*** otherwise they can f*** off already I agree there I just mean generally speaking...things like pronouns and whatever...it's confusing for them and they don't always necessarily mean to be offending someone they just don't know any better...once u do know better and just wanna be an a****** about it that's where I stop caring about you feeling persecuted by "woke" culture lol

we literally had a male teacher pretending to be trans with giant prosthetic breasts. parents were banned from teacher meetings and the teacher couldn't be punished due to woke administration policies and human rights laws. it was only recently that they figured out he takes off the costume at home

you couldn't say s*** about this clown 6 months ago IRL without being called transphobic

Brother you are misguided, may I suggest enrolling at Hustler’s University

The uprising of radical anti-wokeness hopefully leads to the development of a healthy middle but I fear it’ll just be civil war at this point.

Well thats f***ed up...also doesn't mean there aren't legitimate trans people out there that deserve to be respected like anyone else...obviously you always gonna have creeps and weirdos like this guy and that's a whole different conversation

this what happens when a party realizes they can push idpol so hard that it takes up a huge chunk of the collective consciousness

it's provocative, it gets the ppl goin, and then they don't have headspace to complain about corporate price gouging, crumbling infrastructure, their own rights being trampled for "safety", unprecedented profits coupled with unprecedented inflation, etc.

Speak on it ❗️❗️❗️ Idpol is literally a psyop. It’s addictive and fully consumes you to the point where you can be switched on and off like a remote.

The premise of the OP would've been stronger if you left out the part about "no one can give good examples"

You think 'anti-wokeness' is corny, fair enough. You can just stand on that, without pretending there aren't examples where people are gonna obviously think s*** went too far, like this Roald Dahl example here

Cause when people give you examples like this (this Roald Dahl one is a great example of a ridiculous over-correction), and you just ignore it or eurostep it, or make up a reason why this or that example doesn't count, makes the argument look weak

A more consistent argument would be to just acknowledge an example like this and say, "this is a good thing! why do you WANT to offend someone by suggesting a woman might work as a cashier instead of a top scientist!"

To be completely honest I don't understand what the big deal is about those Dahl quotes lol seems like those are pretty silly changes to get upset about or even draw awareness to

There was a guy on State of Play the other day that had a big forehead and I got my jokes off but I felt like s*** about it afterwards cause that’s just the way he looks.

Golden rule s*** tbh, I don’t like when people make fun of me for the way I am either.

I'm definitely not talking about just getting jokes off about someone on TV or whatever...im talking about ppl who just actively complain about not being able to say things they used to be able to say

When I was a kid I threw around the word as a general insult like a****** or punk or whatever...ppl still wanna do that s*** in 2023 though and it's like c'mon we as society kinda outgrew that why can't you?
